Thoughts about Asa?

We love Asa for a boy, but are concerned it sounds too feminine. There's also the possible issue of the name resembling an unfavorable word, though we never saw it in that light until recently. We really love the following combos that go well with our last name:

I don't think Asa sounds feminine. It may lend itself to teasing, but he just as easily could become Ace. AsaJames could be AJ. And by the time he's an adult and teasing is no longer a concern, Asa will sound intelligent and refined. I really like Asa, I hope you stick with it!
